Making A Smooth Transition to Summer

By Carolyn Manley, School Counselor

After a busy year of running back and forth from school while managing homework assignments and family or personal obligations, summer is the time to take a deep breath and capture those moments where you can truly slow down.

For students who have been busy all year, it is important to find time to do the things you and your family truly enjoy. I always remind parents that our students tend to differ significantly from typical kids when it comes to their feelings about summer break. While some of our students cannot wait for a break from school, many others may feel sad and need some time to process their new schedule and freedom.

Mrs. Centineo joined SAA in 2012 and currently teaches Language Arts to students in third through fifth grade, and serves as the school's Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Coach. As SEL Coach, she ensures that SEL best practices are integrated into classrooms and family partnerships.

SEL enhances students' capacity to integrate skills, attitudes, and behaviors to deal effectively and ethically with daily tasks and challenges. By providing targeted resources and coaching for teachers, she helps identify the SEL needs in their classrooms and to implement SEL seamlessly across the curriculum. Tina also works closely with parents to establish a strong school-home SEL connection.
